The result was delete. WP:SNOW and BLP. There is possibly a reasonable article to be written here - some sledging incidents are legendary in the game - but it'd have to be sourced impeccably, and not include minor disagreements like some here. Black Kite (talk) 07:26, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Reluctantly, but there are serious issues here with WP:BLP to the forefront. See the multiple issues in the attention tag. Jack | ^{talk page} 20:22, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per the issues raised at WT:CRIC. – Ianblair23 (talk) 03:01, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete primarily for the BLP concerns; we need better sources than video clips of the incidents in question. Vanamonde (talk) 04:54, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Sources aren't a problem for this kind of thing - there's regular "10 best sledges" articles in newspapers, any on-field altercation gets huge coverage in the MSM, and there's even been a 160-page book (ISBN 9780857200921) that essentially matches this article. There may not be huge numbers of references in there at the moment, but they should be obtainable. Likewise with the recentism, you could probably fill an article just with W. G. Grace sledges. I think the concerns are more the risk of cruft. Another risk is that if this page disappears, then the contents just move in time to the main sledging article. The cruft risk also applies to that main article, but is arguably more disruptive there than in a dedicated sub-article like this.Le Deluge (talk) 14:24, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Mainly due to BLP concerns and a side of WP:OR. But it's also a coatrack page for any (minor) on-field disagreement between two (or more) players. Some of the most notable ones are covered in the main sledging article. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:46, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per Lugnuts this seems to be a coatrack page listing a number of disagreements people have had. Lack of sourcing also means its a massive BLP issue, and the title is so broad that it has no clear inclusion/exclusion (for example, why isn't the Warner/Root bar fight included?) Overall, not needed, as the notable incidents will be covered elsewhere on Wikipedia e.g Sledging (cricket). I don't support redirecting, as it's not a plausible search term.

Delete as indiscriminate list and BLP concerns. Ajf773 (talk) 09:58, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for a host of reasons. Such a list is, in itself, not notable. If a particular incident is notable then it should form part of an article about the players, match, series, tournament etc... involved. It would also strike me as impossible to maintain or to determine any kind of sensible entry criteria beyond the GNG criteria for sourcing. There are other reasons as well.

Delete per everything above. Can we have an early close per WP:SNOW? St Anselm (talk) 03:15, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@StAnselm: - I've dropped a note at ANI asking for someone to take a look. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:56, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
